No post and no real trading

No post as have just been too busy with work. I have also slowly had to accept the failure of my system. It still performs very well in back testing however the problem is I am not just getting matched enough on the profitable trades, especially when I increase my stakes.

I have been collecting data from 8am in the morning and believe I have identified 2 profitable systems where matching will not be a problem.

However because this involves manipulating much more data and calculating 2 different types of Indicators, I haven't been able to automate yet. I really hope I can this weekend.

When I write my bots I don't force it. Normally, when I am doing something different, a very clear method on how to write the bot comes to me. After that it takes about a day to code. When I force it the code is often not very efficient and I have to rewrite.

I think I am about ready now

I am also quietly confident.
